Well, since you've got both the standard and the custom file referenced in your error messages, it looks like you're linking in both UI's. Find the duplicate UIRef element and remove it.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] using WixUI_Advanced Has anyone had success copying WixUI_Advanced.wxs to a Custom_Advanced.wxs and using it in your msi installer? I end up with lots of errors like these: [exec] C:\cygwin\home\build\current\EUROPA\Source\wix_project\Custom_Advanced.wxs(37) : error LGHT0091 : Duplicate symbol 'CustomAction:WixSetDefaultPerUserFolder' found. This typically means that an Id is duplicated. Check to make sure all your identifiers of a given type (File, Component, Feature) are unique. [exec] E:\delivery\Dev\wix37_public\src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib\WixUI_Advanced.wxs(37) : error LGHT0092 : Location of symbol related to previous error. [exec] E:\delivery\Dev\wix37_public\src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib\WixUI_Advanced.wxs(38) : error LGHT0091 : Duplicate symbol 'CustomAction:WixSetDefaultPerMachineFolder' found.

I copied WixUI_Advanced.wxs to my project directory as Custom_Advanced.wxs, and changed From: < <UI Id="WixUI_Advanced"> To: > <UI Id="Custom_Advanced"> And in my Product element I added <UIRef Id="Custom_Advanced" /> What Am I missing? I'm following the Wix 3.6: A Developer's guide to windows Installer XML.
